Lai Xiaoyu, an activist involved
in Friday night's rescue told the

Restaurants pay about

according to the report.
Police detained the cat
dealer, Yang Baoguo, after he
battled dozens of animal lovers
who descended on the freight
yard to break his cages, the
newspaper said.
The dealer was released
after a few hours without charge
because animal protection laws
are nonexistent in China, the
report said.
"There is no law in China
saying cats cannot be eaten,''
police officer Ma Yong was
quoted as saying.
"Cats are not a protected
animal.''
Mr Yang, who has traded
cats for a decade, bought the
animals from so-called hunters
who trapped the cats in
residential areas at night, the
report said.
Police could not charge
him with possessing stolen
property because, unlike dogs, a
licence is not required for owning
a cat in Shanghai, making
ownership impossible to prove,
the report said.
Eating cat meat is a
tradition in many parts of China,
especially in southern regions,
where some restaurants
specialise in preparing the
dishes, according to Chinese
media reports.

Horoscopes: Predictions for June 29-July 5 VILLA for SALE

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) -- Get your facts together and
become familiar with them before you have to face up to that
interview. The better prepared you are, the easier it will be to
make that important impression.
TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) -- New information might
warrant changing your mind about a recently made decision.
Never mind the temporary confusion it might cause. Acting
on the truth is always preferable.
GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) -- Creating a loving
atmosphere for those you care for could pay off in many
ways. Expect to hear some unexpected but very welcome
news that can make a big difference in your life.
CANCER (June 21 to July 22) -- Stepping away from an
old and seemingly insoluble problem might be helpful. Use
the time to take a new look at the situation and perhaps
work out a new method of dealing with it.
LEO (July 23 to August 22) -- You're still in a favorable
goal-setting mode. However, you might need to be a little
more realistic about some of your aims. Best to reach for
what is currently doable. The rest will follow.
VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) -- A setback is never
easy to deal with. But it could be a boon in disguise.
Recheck your proposal, and strengthen the weak spots.
Seek advice from someone who has "been there and done
that."
LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) -- Coming up with a
new way of handling a tedious job-regulated chore could
lead to more than just a congratulatory memo once the
word reaches the "right people." Good luck.
3 Km from CANDI DASA
SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) -- What you
might call determination someone else might regard as
stubbornness. Look for ways to reach a compromise that
won't require a major shift of views on your part.
SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) --
You're still in a vulnerable mode vis-a-vis "offers" that
sound too good to be true. So continue to be skeptical
about anything that can't be backed up with provable
facts.
CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) -- Thrift is
still dominant this week. What you don't spend on what
you don't need will be available for you to draw on should
a possible (albeit temporary) - money crunch hit.
AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) -- Staying Where you can find a beach

introspection about your social life. Sort out your feelings 150mtrs from your doorstep, swimming, surfing & snorkeling.

Kuta Weekly
With Jackson News, a Surge in Web Traffic
Did your Internet
connection seem slow
Thursday afternoon? It very
likely wasn't your computer; it
was the surge of interest in
Michael Jackson's
hospitalization and death.
Akamai said that traffic
to news Web sites spiked
around 6 p.m. Eastern,
clocking in at one point
at 4.2 million visitors a
minute. During the rest
of the day, the sites
tracked by Akamai
never exceeded 3
million visitors a
minute.
Some
entertainment news
Web sites including
EOnline.com and
PerezHilton.com
appeared to load more
slowly than normal.
Sometimes they did not
load at all, according to
the observations of
several reporters early
Thursday evening.
Even Google
had trouble keeping up.
Between 5:40 p.m. and
6:15 p.m. Eastern, after
TMZ.com had said Mr.
Jackson had died, some
visitors to Google News
“experienced difficulty
accessing search results for
queries related to Michael
Jackson,” a Google
spokesman said.
AIM, the instant
messaging service operated
by AOL, collapsed for about
40 minutes amid all the
Jackson attention. The service
was “undergoing a previously
1 July - 7 July 2009 (136)
scheduled software update”
at the time, the company said
in a statement to PC
Magazine.
The company called
the day “a seminal moment
in Internet history.” It said:
“We've never seen anything
like it in terms of scope or
depth. Historically, celebrity
news prompts a worldwide
outpouring with several key
consumer behaviors
searching, sharing and
reacting to the news followed
by online tributes has
become the modern way to
mourn. Princess Diana was
the first notable Internet
example. Michael Jackson
and Farrah Fawcett are the
latest.”
The social messaging
service Twitter had
News Corner
thousands of tweets about
Michael Jackson every minute.
“We saw more than double the
normal tweets per second the
moment the news broke the
biggest increase since the US
presidential election (and
Twitter has grown
tremendously since then),” one
of Twitter's co-founders, Biz
Stone, told a sister blog Bits.
Some TV news
anchors took note of the
slowdown. “My computer is
having a very difficult time
right now,” remarked
Shepard Smith, a Fox News
anchor, who surmised the
delays were due to the
intense interest in Mr.
Jackson.
However, the servers
for TMZ.com, which broke
much of the news about Mr.
Jackson, did not seem
sluggish. TMZ held a live
chat and even simulcast a
local Fox affiliate's coverage
on Thursday evening.

Geelong captain Tom Harley admits he's in awe of
unbeaten St Kilda
Geelong captain Tom
A full service web design house providing web development solution for companies or individuals Harley has set a dramatic
interested in outsourcing their web design and website development needs stage for Sunday's clash of the
unbeaten clubs, declaring the
Cats were "in awe" of St Kilda
this year.
Despite a rampant run in
which Geelong has won 55 of
its past 58 games, the Cats
have claimed underdog status
for the Etihad Stadium
blockbuster next Sunday.
Harley and Shannon
Byrnes, who kicked four goals
against Port Adelaide on
Sunday, referred to St Kilda as
the competition's benchmark.
St Kilda defeated Richmond
by 56 points at Etihad Stadium
to remain unbeaten along with
Geelong, which beat Port by
34 points at Skilled Stadium.
It is the first time in VFL/AFL
history two unbeaten sides
have met so late in the year.
Geelong coach Mark
Thompson admitted his side
needed the challenge.
Thompson said the build-up
for the Saints game had been
so momentous, his players
had begun to look ahead to
the clash.
"They told me no, but
maybe they were telling a few
little porky pies. It's hard not to
think of it," he said after
Geelong's win.
"Next week should be a great
game. We are really looking
forward to it. I don't think it's
ever happened before.
"It's just enjoyable to be in a
situation where there's a lot of
talk, and we are a good team
and they are a good team, and
the crowd is going to be full
and there will be a lot of media
interest. It's exciting to be part

"I am really excited. The build-up Harley agreed: "It will
probably be a relief when it's over.
I don't think the result one way or
another will dictate how the
season is going to pan out."
Saints coach Ross Lyon
quickly painted his side as the
underdogs and he said the club
was eager to test itself against the
best in the competition.
"Why are Geelong the benchmark
team? Quite simply, it's weight of
numbers," he said.
"All we've done is win 13 in
a row. They've been a premiership

Proteas coach Mickey Arthur gives England a blueprint to beat
Australia
Australia are being double-teamed
by their sworn cricketing enemies, with
South Africa handing England their
successful blueprint on how to beat Ricky
Ponting's team.
England head into the Ashes Test
series with fresh information from Proteas
coach Mickey Arthur, who has revealed his
game plan for individual Australia players.
Arthur's team created history last
summer when they became the first South
Africa side to win a Test series on Australian
soil.
The Proteas then locked horns
with Australia in a 2-1 series defeat in South
Africa
Arthur has subsequently provided
England with a dossier and tips on Australia
players.
Arthur's blueprint advises England

Ashes countdown No.9: Australia won the first Ashes Test by
nine wickets
We continue our 30-day
countdown to the first Ashes Test with the
very first Ashes Test, the historic match
which took place at the MCG in 1882.
The England cricket team travelled
to Australia in 1882 on a journey of
redemption after losing at The Oval by
seven runs.
“Whatever the origins of the
Ashes, the uncertainty only adds to the
mystique and appeal of the battle for the
most famous trophy in cricket.”
That defeat, after all, had
prompted the most famous piece of cricket
reporting in history: "In affectionate
remembrance of English cricket which died
at The Oval, 29th August, 1882. Deeply
lamented by a large circle of sorrowing
friends and acquaintances, RIP. NB The
body will be cremated and the Ashes taken
to Australia."
The rebirth of English cricket was
such that only four England men played
both at The Oval and in what would become
known as the first Ashes Test, in Melbourne.
And WG Grace was not among the four.
Australia, by comparison, had nine men
play in both Tests.
For all England's changes, they
suffered a more comprehensive defeat at
the MCG than at The Oval - losing by nine
wickets having been forced to follow on.
Their resurrection was incomplete, the
reincarnated team alive in body but not in
deed.

A CATTLE DOG STORY

Kevin Rudd called Julia Gillard into his office one day and said "Julia, I have a great idea!
We are going to go all out to win the country voters".

"Good idea Great Leader, how will we go about it"? said Julia.

"Well", said Rudd, "we get ourselves one of those Driaza Bone coats, some RM Williams boots,
a stick and an Akubra hat, Oh, and a blue cattle dog.
Then we'll really look the part.
We'll go to a typical old outback country pub, we'll show we really enjoy the bush".

"Right" said Julia.

Days later, all kitted out and with the requisite blue heeler, they set off from Canberra in a
westerly direction. Eventually they arrived at just the place they were looking for and found
a typical outback pub. They walked in with the dog and up to the bar.

"G'day mate", said Rudd to the bartender, "two middies of your best beer".

"Good afternoon Great Leader", said the bartender, "two middies of our best coming up".

Gillard and Rudd stood leaning on the bar drinking their beer and chatting, nodding now
and again to whoever came into the bar for a drink. The dog lay quietly at their feet.

All of a sudden, the door from the adjacent bar opened and in came a grizzled old
stockman, complete with stock whip.
He walked up to the cattle dog, lifted its tail with the whip and looked underneath,
shrugged his shoulders and walked back to the other bar.
A few moments later in came another old stockman with his whip.
He walked up to the dog and lifted its tail, looked underneath, scratched his head and went
back to the other bar.

Over the course of the next hour or so another four or five stockmen came in and lifted the
dog's tail and went away looking puzzled.
Eventually, Rudd and Gillard could stand it no longer and called the barman over.

"Tell me" said Rudd, "why did all those old stockmen come in and look under the dog's tail
like that? Is it an old outback custom?"

"Strewth no", said the barman. "Someone told 'em there was a cattle dog in the bar with two
arseholes"...........
